Community support

Alongside the borough's major regeneration schemes, many community groups are devising and leading their own projects to improve the areas in which they live, with input from us and other organisations as required.

We are working with a range of partner organisations including central government, voluntary groups and the local community to welcome and house refugee families directly arriving from the Middle East. So far eight refugee families have resettled in Lewisham and we are preparing to welcome our next arrivals.
